4.3 (4)Solid choice
Our team evaluated a few options before settling on Notion. Strong template ecosystem. No major complaints so far. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
Highly recommend Notion
Notion has quickly become part of our daily workflow. Good mobile apps. One minor gripe: offline mode is limited, but it hasn't been a dealbreaker. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
